EnviroCitizen.org recently discovered MCS Environmental, Inc., a construction contracting company that specializes in environmental designing, environmental building and sustainable deconstruction. Based in Missoula, Montana, they are experts when it comes to sustainable construction in every aspect. They work with clients from the beginning of the design phase to the end of the deconstruction phase. They work to create energy-efficient, low-environmental impact buildings.
Many eco-friendly contractors only focus on the actual construction process. They might use eco-friendly materials, like local wood or renewable wood, or they might specialize in health aspects of construction, like using no-VOC (volatile organic compound) finishes. MCS Environmental, Inc., however, focuses on every aspect of a construction project including the management of construction waste. They are experts when it comes to building deconstruction and recycling waste. They crush up concrete and asphalt so that they can be reused in other construction projects, rather than end up in a landfill.
MCS Environmental, Inc. has two offices; one in Missoula, Montana and one in Spokane, Washington. With their two offices, MCS Environmental, Inc. services a wide geographic area with local knowledge and resources. Since 1989, MCS Environmental, Inc. has completed many successful projects and the knowledge that they've acquired over the past 20 years guides them in every project. They are known for their integrated approach to designing and construction as well as for their ability to operate in difficult and remote environments. If you live in that area, or if you've visited, you probably understand why this asset is so important. It's a geographic region with a rich history, stunning geography and it's a place with often difficult and remote areas—especially when it comes to construction.
